When I used a squall 2 I found the 2 pole setup made a "doorframe" when angled outward and provided more room to enter. When using one pole, it cut the entrance in half and was more of a hassle to squirm around.

I like a taught pitch, especially in wet weather with silnylon, and you will want the stiffest dual pole setup you can get. I bought a Squall 2 with the Aluminum 2 poles and they re a bit flimsy. I love my 2 GG LT4s or Komperdell poles. 1 trekking pole is sufficient but 2 is much more stable.

so it sounds like the lighter poles for decent weather and two of the heavier poles for incliment weather.
are the 45" long enough for a taught pitch, or should I look into getting something longer? they have 48" or I can look at custom making poles…
